Includes numerous very nice charts illustrating statistical analysis techniques.

Well written and the conversational style make it an easy read.
My goal was to dig beneath the hype, and this book does that perfectly.
Gave a solid grounding of big data concepts and theories.
Relevant examples were used to explain techniques, but some of the stats/math terminology was over my head.

It will serve as my big data reference book.

This is a great book from a Business perspective on Data Science, I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in doing business. It is fascinating, to see how data science is intersecting every fields.
